Please join us in praying for the family to have the strength, comfort, and the resolve to navigate this situation. #gcsukraine #gcsuk #GCSUnitedStates #gcsnz #gcsprayer #GCSWORLDPRAYER https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJWoL9IVXK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GCS Disaster Relief teams continue to support vulnerable communities in eastern and southern Ukraine who have been overwhelmed by intense attacks. Next week we are importing a further 80 tons of food supplies, and we look forward to getting these vital supplies to communities in greatest need while pointing them to the light and hope of Jesus Christ. GCS is in great need of funding to facilitate this vital work.

One of our international team members, GCS Ambassador Owen Pomana is currently serving alongside the Ukrainian Military as a chaplain - where he is ministering the Gospel to soldiers and reaching out to civilians in need. Please pray for Owen’s safety and interactions as he seeks to shine the light of the Gospel in the darkness. #gcsukraine #gcsuk #GCSNZ #gcsprayer #gcsworldprayer #RRTCARES https://www.gcsmissions.com/ukraine-appeal https://www.instagram.com/p/CqArILgo9rm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GCS is coordinating our humanitarian and evangelistic efforts with district and regional government bodies in Ukraine to reach and support communities under daily attacks. Millions of people across Ukraine have endured months of intense hostilities without adequate access to food, water, health care, education, protection, and other essential services. Massive destruction of civilian infrastructure has left hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians without their homes or livelihoods. Too many are now living in damaged homes or in buildings ill-suited to provide protection for the upcoming harsh cold season, where the sub-zero temperatures could be life-threatening. The next major GCS mission to Ukraine is gearing up to help vulnerable communities prepare for a harsh wartime winter. Our teams are working hard to source portable generators, water tanks, water filtration systems, medicine, medical equipment, hygiene products, thermal clothing, Bibles, Gospel tracts, and much needed food and water. We also need our usual convoy of trucks for the transportation of supplies, and minibuses and coaches to aid evacuation efforts. Please help us continue this vital work by donating to the GCS Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

Displacement, being separated from parents, witnessing violent acts, bearing arms, being victims of direct hostilities are just some of the trauma children and young people in Ukraine have had to face. Such overwhelming experiences will no doubt have an impact on their development, attitude toward society, relationships with others, and their outlook on life in general. Children really do pay the highest price during war. GCS continues to tackle child hunger and malnutrition by supporting educational institutions throughout Ukraine. This time, we have been focusing on providing food to students who have been facing acute food shortages. It has been an honour to work alongside local School Director Larisa Yarovenko to bring both physical and spiritual support to those who need it most. A generation of children have had their lives torn apart. We can’t give up on them. It is surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to help meet the needs of these souls in their darkest moments while pointing them to the light and hope of Jesus Christ. If you can, please donate to the GCS Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal and help us continue this vital work.

Over the last 10 days the GCS team and our church partners in Ukraine have been able to distribute approximately 150 tonnes of emergency RRT Food Boxes, water supplies, and Bibles to communities struggling to survive in war zones in the east and south of the country. In the midst of the chaos, our teams continue to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it has been overwhelming to see so many people giving their lives to Christ. GCS are now working hard to source portable generators, medicine, water tanks, filtration systems, sustainable food supplies, and hygiene products. By donating to the GCS Humanitarian Appeal, you'll help provide and transport food, water, shelter and healthcare to refugees and displaced families.

The GCS team and our church partners continue to distribute emergency food to communities in war zones as well as to refugees who have fled their homes due to the ongoing conflict. In the midst of the chaos, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being shared, and many people are giving their lives to Christ. Since the beginning of the conflict GCS and our partner organisations have been able to supply over 2,300 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Ukrainian hot spots. This is the equivalent of approximately 3,450,000 meals, medicine, and hygiene products to people facing acute hunger. With the support of our friends and global partners we were able to distribute nearly 150 tonnes of RRT Food Boxes, water filtration systems, and Ukrainian Bibles to families in desperate need. GCS are now working hard to source portable generators, medicine, water tanks and filtration, sustainable food supplies, and hygiene products. If you would like to help but not sure how, please consider donating to GCS to help us address this escalating humanitarian catastrophe.
